Reasoning about such networks is comp licated and scientifically challenging due to their size\, co-evolutionary nature and multiple contagions spreading simultaneously. Examples include : The 2019 COVID-19 pandemic\, 2014 Ebola epidemic\, 2009 financial crisis \, global migration\, information propagation over social media\, societal impacts of natural and human initiated disasters and the effect of climat e change. Advances in computing have fundamentally altered how such multip lex networks can be synthesized\, analyzed and reasoned. The talk will foc us on the foundations and advanced computing technologies needed to study multiplexed co-evolving sociotechnical networks with the aim of developing scalable and practical decision support systems. I will draw on our work in urban transport planning\, national security and public health epidemio logy to guide the discussion.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nMadhav Marathe is a Distinguished Professor in Biocomplexity\, the division director of the Ne twork Systems Science and Advanced Computing Division at the Biocomplexity Institute and Initiative\, and a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. His research interests are in netwo rk science\, computational epidemiology\, AI\, foundations of computing an d high performance computing. Over the last 20 years\, his division has su pported federal and state authorities in their effort to combat epidemics in real-time\, including the H1N1 pandemic in 2009\, the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. Before joining UVA\, he hel d positions at Virginia Tech and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is a Fellow of the IEEE\, ACM\, SIAM and AAAS.\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Pr ecision Convergence series is launched to catalyze unique synergy between\ , on the one hand\, novel partnerships across sciences\, sectors and juris dictions around targeted domains of real-world solutions\, and on the othe r hand\, a next generation convergence of AI with advanced research comput ing and other data and digital architectures such as PSC’s Bridges-2\, and supporting data sharing frameworks such as HuBMAP\, informing in a real t ime as possible the design\, deployment and monitoring of solutions for ad aptive real-world behavior and context.\n\nThe Precision Convergence Webin ar Series is co-hosted by The McGill Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics (MCCHE) at McGill University and The Pittsburgh Supercomputi ng Center\, a joint computational research center between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.\n\n \n DTSTART:20220216T160000Z DTEND:20220216T180000Z SUMMARY:MCCHE Precision Convergence Webinar Series: February 16\, 2022 URL:https://www.mcgill.ca/channels/channels/event/mcche-precision-convergen ce-webinar-series-february-16-2022-337046 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
